It's pod resembles

a tiny banana.

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The sky is already purple;

the first few stars have

appeared, suddenly, as if

someone had thrown

a handful of silver across

the edge of the world.

Who closes eyes to

dictatorships

kneels his eyelids. Charles de Leusse

(Qui ferme les yeux aux dictatures -

Agenouille en fait les paupières.)

Green is the prime color

of the world, and that from

which its loveliness arises.

I did not wish to take a

cabin passage, but rather to

go before the mast and

on the deck of the world,

for there I could best see the

moonlight amid the mountains.

Henry David Thoreau.

How does it happen that

something that makes so

much sense in the moonlight

doesn't make any sense

at all in the sunlight? Lana Turner

at fifty the same as they did

at twenty has wasted

thirty years of life. Muhammad Ali

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When from our better selves

we have too long been parted by

the hurrying world, and droop...

 how gracious, how benign

is solitude.

loving yourself in a world

trying to sabotage your light.

The blooming is when you

see yourself with kind eyes,

carry a little more grace

for your reflection, and

speak of forgiveness as if

it's your last name.

  Heal. Grow. Love.

Solitude would be ideal

if you could pick

the people to avoid.
